I’d love to see more social gametype modes like in the old days of Halo. They were fun but also competitive and really drew me in to a PvP environment when I typically prefer PvE. Team Scorched and Mayhem are great (and my favorite times to play PvP), but here’s a list of some other ideas I’ve always thought could be fun:
1. Laser Tag (similar to Team Scorched but all players have harpy eye lasers)
2. Sword Slayer (similar to Team Scorched but all players have hive swords)
3. Sparrow Racing (still miss it 😢)
4. Vehicular Guardianslaughter (bring back the big maps with turrets, and large-scale vehicle combat, pikes, tanks, etc.)
5. Taken (would require a whole new gametype but works like Halo infection, one player is “infected” with a Taken glow, a hive sword, no shields or radar but really fast, all other players are normal loadouts - as the Taken player kills other guardians they become taken until the last player standing is killed or time limit is reached - ammo economy for the survivors would be limited)
6. Pike Wars (all pikes with no weapons on a precarious map, the goal is to destroy the other pikes or other teams of pikes through ramming, and side dodging trickery to get them to destroy themselves, this idea is inspired from Sumo in GTA)
7. Hide N Seek (all players are invisible on a small but “crowded” map except for one player who is the “hunter” - hunter has a hive sword, other players are unarmed. Player goal is to survive the time limit, Hunter goal is to find all the players and kill them. Would be a short round based game mode to encourage people killed early on to stay. Points accumulated for kills or time spent staying alive)
Overall I could go on but you get the point. I’d love to play more PvP with these fun styled social games. That’s where Destiny is most enjoyable for me in the PvP realm.
Appreciate you guys posting and listening on the forums!

+1 great ideas there mate

+1 from me. YES. Thanks for sharing these ideas, I just love the chaotic and silly game modes. Team Scorched but with the Season of the Haunted scythes has been on my wishlist. In a lot of ways, Mayhem is similar to those classic Halo customs. It provides a safe entry to just relax and meme around without much competitive pressure. I've definitely been able to enjoy Mayhem with friends who normally wouldn't have fun in a PvP environment. Maybe you could even put all these silly game modes into a single matchmaking playlist so that it's not too much chaos, or you're not waiting for Mayhem, Scorched, Sword Slayer, Everyone Has Golden Gun, etc. to come back into playlist rotation.

Yes exactly! Like a permanent social playlist with enough options that it’s variable for continuing entertainment value. I love the idea with the scythes! That could make for some crazy fun game modes! 😂
